Wow this sure opened up a can of worms. :) :) Paul I already have VE7CC cluster program on my machine so I am going to configure it per this email and see if I can make it do what we want it to do.
If I need some help Paul I'll get back with you. I have been using K8NA or Cluster at DX Central and not knowing the syntax for the commands leaves me at a loss. That is the only reason I picked this as a enhancement as it would be user friendly. In my case it has to be VERY user friendly.
